Abstract :
Silicon photonics is a rapidly developing platform for integrated optics. Combining the low-loss passive silicon photonic circuitry with III-V based active optical functionality, we can combine the best of both worlds. We investigate a new optical platform based on the heterogeneous integration of InP-based active 2D photonic crystals (PCs) on SOI waveguides.
